Chapter 196: Crippled Them Immediately

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yu Qingwan’s expression changed drastically.

How could she have the mood to care how painful this kick was? She quickly got up with difficulty and knelt down to beg for mercy, “Master Nine, please spare me! Master Nine, please spare me!”

The people from the Lingering Garden nearby also wanted to come over and plead for mercy. Yin Jiujin glanced over indifferently. “Whoever pleads for her will be chased out of the Lingering Garden too.”

The Lingering Garden’s actors and staff were so frightened that they quickly retreated.

Yin Jiujin looked down at Yu Qingwan. “You did it once and you dare to attempt it again. It’s because I’ve been too gentle in recent years that you’ve forgotten how I do things?”

Yu Qingwan begged for mercy in tears.

Lin Zimu waved his hand and got someone to bring Yu Qingwan down to settle it.

At this moment, an old man ran over and knelt in front of Yin Jiujin. He happened to be in front of Yu Qingwan.

“Master Nine, please be magnanimous and let Wan’er off this time. I’ve never had a son or daughter in my life and only have Wan’er as my adopted daughter. I need her to take care of me in my old age. Master Nine, on the account that I’ve been working under Missy all my life, please let her off this time.”

This person was the director of the Lingering Garden. His surname was Meng, and his name was Meng Zhao. He had the same surname as Old Madam Yin and was considered a servant from Old Madam Yin’s era.

The Missy he was talking about was Old Madam Yin, Meng Xiangyu.

“Meng Zhao, you used this reason to plead for her the last time. I’ve already spared her once. Could it be that in your opinion, your face is so valuable to me?”

“No, no, Master Nine. Meng Zhao doesn’t dare. I only ask that Master Nine forgive Wan’er this time. I will take the initiative to resign from the position of director. However, other than the garden, we father and daughter have nowhere to go. I hope Master Nine can allow us to continue living in the garden. We will definitely live in seclusion in the future and try our best not to appear in front of Master Nine.”

Although Meng Zhao was an old subordinate of Old Madam Yin, he didn’t dare to flaunt his seniority in front of Yin Jiujin. This was because he had watched Yin Jiujin grow up and knew Yin Jiujin’s temperament very well. Therefore, even though Meng Zhao had said this, he was actually already so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat and his body trembled.

He was clearly so afraid, but he still braced himself to plead for mercy. It seemed like he was really good to Yu Qingwan, his adopted daughter.

Meng Zhao wasn’t Yin Jiujin’s subordinate, so it was usually a little inconvenient for him to order him around. After all, Yin Jiujin’s subordinates had never disobeyed his orders.

However, Meng Zhao was an elder in the Lingering Garden and an elder under Old Madam Yin. He had a certain amount of prestige among the people left behind by Old Madam Yin.

If Yin Jiujin rashly replaced him, he would inevitably give people the feeling that he was a heartless person.

Now that Meng Zhao had suggested it himself, Yin Jiujin agreed.

Yu Qingwan was just a small fry. One of her hands was completely incomparable to the Lingering Garden.

You should not try your best to appear in front of me. Instead, you better don’t appear in front of me again.”

“Yes, yes. We will never appear in front of Master Nine again.” After saying that, Meng Zhao paused and carefully raised his head in joy. “M-Master Nine, do you mean that you’re willing to let Wan’er off?”

Yin Jiujin didn’t respond to him. He only glanced at him indifferently. “Meng Zhao, on the account that you’ve worked under my grandmother for many years, let me remind you. Don’t only realize that you actually raised an ingrate in the end.”

Yu Qingwan trembled and lowered her head, not daring to look up.

“Lin Zimu, get someone to take over Meng Zhao’s position. Find out the reason for the fire in the Lingering Garden. If it’s an accident, then forget it. If it’s not, then get whoever caused the fire to roll around in the fire.”

Roll in the fire…

Could that person survive then?

Everyone was frightened. They all thought about whether they had anything to do with this matter. Some people who had appeared nearby when the rooms were on fire were pale with fear.

“Yes, Boss.”

“Master Nine, we’ve caught someone.” At this moment, someone who looked like a martial arts practitioner grabbed a shifty-eyed person and threw him to the ground. He even stepped on that person, making him unable to move.

He respectfully handed over the thing in his hand. “Master Nine, this is the phone that I snatched from him. He has been taking photos on it. I think he even sent them out.”

Yin Jiujin’s eyelids twitched. Without waiting for Lin Zimu to hand the phone over, he quickly walked over and snatched it.

That person clearly didn’t have the time to delete the record. After reading it, Yin Jiujin’s eyes darkened. He threw his phone on the ground and it shattered into several pieces with a loud bang.

Everyone, including Lin Zimu, was silent.

Yin Jiujin’s dark gaze swept over the person who was pinned on the ground. “Crippled him.”

The martial arts practitioner who had stepped on him heard Yin Jiujin’s instructions and answered firmly, “Yes, Master Nine!”

“As for her.” As soon as Yin Jiujin’s gaze turned to Yu Qingwan, who was kneeling on the ground, Yu Qingwan spat out a mouthful of blood.

Clearly, Yin Jiujin’s kick had injured her lungs. She had endured until now.

Meng Zhao also realized the seriousness of the matter. “I-I beg Master Nine to let Wan’er off. Wan’er must have been possessed for a moment.”

Yin Jiujin glanced over coldly. “A moment of obsession? How dare she ask someone to secretly take some photos that will easily cause misunderstandings and send them to my fiancée?”

“It’s best if there’s no misunderstanding. If there’s a misunderstanding, it won’t be enough even if she dies 100 times!”

Yu Qingwan hung her head, her expression already twisted.

Fiancée!

He actually valued that country girl so much!

As for Meng Zhao, his face was already pale.

He turned around and gave Yu Qingwan a slap. The force was strong and directly sent Yu Qingwan, who was already injured, falling to the ground. “Wan’er, you’ve disappointed me too much!”

Yu Qingwan covered her face and got up with difficulty. She continued to kneel and shed tears weakly. “Dad, no, I didn’t do it. I don’t know this person at all. I had nothing to do with his photos!”

“If you don’t believe me, Master Nine can investigate. What this person did really has nothing to do with me!”

“Master Nine, you’ve got to believe me, I really don’t know this person! I know that Master Nine sent someone to guard the Lingering Garden. It’s impossible to hide from Master Nine and take photos here. How could I dare to find someone to take photos secretly? Master Nine, this really has nothing to do with me!”

“Master Nine, Wan’er’s words make some sense. Although Wan’er… Although she overestimated herself and committed a mistake, she didn’t dare to do such a self-destructive thing. I-if this matter is really related to Wan’er, I will teach her a lesson even without you making a move, Master Nine. I beg you to investigate.”

As he spoke, Meng Zhao gritted his teeth. “Master Nine, you have to call Miss Yu first. It’s best if Miss Yu doesn’t misunderstand.” After saying that, he broke out in a cold sweat and didn’t dare to look at Master Nine’s expression.

He was actually overstepping his boundaries.

However, he could tell that Master Nine valued Miss Yu a lot. At this time, perhaps only mentioning Miss Yu could divert Master Nine’s attention.

He did not believe that Wan’er would be so stupid as to find someone to take pictures in the Lingering Garden.

Hence, the most important thing now was to save Wan’er from Master Nine.

If this matter was really related to Wan’er, he wouldn’t let her off even if Master Nine did nothing.

He had been loyal all his life and would never allow his adopted daughter to do anything against his master.

Yin Jiujin indeed paused for a moment because of Meng Zhao’s words. His hands in his pocket clenched into fists.

No one knew that he actually did not dare to make this call.

The young lady had already given him a fright previously because of the last misunderstanding. What if…

It had been a while since the photos were sent out. In other words, the young lady had already seen it. Based on her personality, she would directly ask whatever questions she had. She would never hide it. She should have called him to verify it by now.

However, she didn’t…

This made him even more uneasy.

Seeing that he was standing there without saying a word and his expression turned even colder, Meng Zhao and Yu Qingwan were both frightened.

Especially Yu Qingwan, who was even more terrified.

She was furious and shocked.

She didn’t want to die, and she couldn’t die either!

Other than Yan Jinyu, she was the woman closest to Master Nine. So many women were coveting Master Nine. As long as she stayed in the Lingering Garden, she would have an advantage over many others.

She had finally endured until now. As long as she could become Master Nine’s woman, she would be able to completely escape her fate!

With this in mind, under Yin Jiujin’s unfathomable gaze, Yu Qingwan once again sobbed softly. “Master Nine, please spare me this time on account of Junqing. I didn’t do it on purpose. I was really so sad that I lost my composure and broke the rules. Also, I really didn’t arrange for that person to take the photos. With Master Nine’s ability, you can find out with a little investigation.”

“Junqing and I have been engaged since we were young. If he was still alive, we would have gotten married long ago. Junqing and I suffered a drastic change when we were young, and both our parents had accidents. We relied on each other from the start, but h-he left me alone too early in our lives.”

“Please spare me this time on account of Junqing and Master Nine’s friendship. I won’t be so rude to Master Nine in the future.”

Yu Qingwan obviously didn’t know that Yin Jiujin had discovered Liu Junqing was a traitor long ago.

After all, Yin Jiujin had saved his reputation because Liu Junqing had once saved his life and he remembered that other than that time, Liu Junqing had never done anything to betray the organization.

Seeing that Yin Jiujin didn’t say anything after hearing her words and only looked at her with an ambiguous gaze, Yu Qingwan suddenly felt very uneasy.

“M-Master Nine…”

“Now you remember your engagement with Liu Junqing.”

“Do you think Liu Junqing’s face is still so useful to me?” Yin Jiujin sneered. “Do you want to know how Liu Junqing died?”

Yu Qingwan was shocked. “D-didn’t he sacrifice himself during a mission?”

Yin Jiujin sneered without any intention of saying anything.

It made Yu Qingwan feel even more uneasy.

“Meng Zhao, this is the last time. If I find out that this matter is really related to her, I won’t let her off easily.”

With that said, Yin Jiujin turned and left. As he left, he took out his phone.

He dialed the number.

“Girl, did you… see the photos?”

His tone was gentle and also very careful, scaring everyone who happened to hear him.

Maybe she was terrified or furious, Yu Qingwan vomited another mouthful of blood and fainted.

Oh, it might have been because of Yin Jiujin’s kick.

Lin Zimu looked at Yin Jiujin’s retreating back and swept a glance at everyone. “Someone will take over the Lingering Garden soon. You all know Master Nine’s temper. Master Nine is in a fit of anger now. You all better not cause any trouble. Otherwise, no one can save you.”

Everyone quickly agreed.

Lin Zimu turned around and followed Yin Jiujin.. At the same time, he called Jiang Hao and asked him to “invite” everyone involved in the Empire Building’s accident to the Mount West Villa.
